Thumbs Up to Relief
The Primary Goal: Reduce Your Symptoms
Many people go to a chiropractor because they are in pain. In this first phase of care, the main goal is to reduce your symptoms. Sometimes this will require daily visits, or two to three visits per week for a time.
Understanding Pain as an Indicator
Most people are under the assumption that if they don't feel any pain that there is nothing wrong with them - that they are healthy. Unfortunately, pain is a very poor indicator of health. In fact, pain and other symptoms frequently only appear after a disease or other condition has become advanced.
Consider This Example
Consider a cavity in your tooth. Does it hurt when it first develops or only after it has become serious? How about heart disease?
Regardless of whether you are talking about cancer, heart disease, diabetes, stress or problems with the spine, pain is usually the last thing to appear.
An Important Insight
When you begin chiropractic care, pain is also the first symptom to disappear, even though much of the underlying condition remains. This is why continuing care beyond pain relief is so important.
